PCIe Preferences

PCIe test

Automatically select all PCIe slots with PassMark loopback cards

When selected, this option determines the number of PCIe tests at the start of each test run by detecting the number of PassMark PCIe test cards correctly connected to the system at that time.

It should be noted that while this improves test automation, it is possible that a PCIe slot is faulty and the PCIe test card has failed to be detected and the number of tests run is less than the required number of tests. When using this option, some type of validation should be done to verify that all of the PCIe test cards are correctly connected.

Number of PCIe slots to test

This is the number of PCIe test cards that BurnInTest attempts to connect to. In general you will want to set this value to be equal to the number of PCIe test cards that you would typically have connected to the machine. A maximum of 10 cards may be used at the same time.

See the PCIe slot PCIe slot and PSU test for more details.
